Very fast and sporty car.

My Lexus is an f sport which makes it really past. It handles very well and does not slide when it is raining. The sound system is awesome providing optimal sound and easy adjustments to the sound. The interior is all leather and easy to clean up. We just love this car!

Nice car with luxury costs!

Excellent handling and comfortable drive. Lexus 350 has great power merging and highway driving. Indeed a luxury vehicle with gadgets and features. One of the major issues is the cost of maintenance; be prepared to pay a lot and have the dealership gouge you.

I like that the seat move forward or backward when the vehicle is turned on/off.

This has been the best vehicle purchase. From the performance, warranty, service & comfort. The features in the vehicle are powered seats. Sirius. Bluetooth. Mirrors adjust & camera surrounding the vehicle. The drive is very smooth, you do not hear anything on the outside unless the windows are down. There's also a power sunroof that can be let up or slid all the way back. The comfort of the leather seats which allows you to let up, down, backward or forward.

Great car to own and drive.

I have had no problems with this vehicle. I keep up with maintenance and change the tires as needed. It is smooth and handles well. Great trunk space. The only thing I wish were different is if the back seat would lay down if I have a large delivery.

If you are looking to buy a new or used car, then I would buy a Lexus.

I love my car and the way it rides. I love the leather seats and boos speaker's. I always feel very safe when driving my car. I just had to replace my tires and hadn't had to in over 3 years. I love my car best ever and will run forever. You don't not have to put the fancy oil in it either I learned that too.

Karolina K

That it is very economical and fits my family.

I really enjoy my vehicle every day. The only thing I would change about it is the seats. They are black and absorb sunlight. I would like lighter ones.

I call my baby red velvet, I got the car in white with red leather seats inside.

The vehicle drives perfectly, with the heated leather seats and size in the driver's seat. Definitely a strong recommendation. The main feature I love is the adjustable gear to use while driving to control the Bluetooth from your phone to easily control music/calls etc.

Robert K

It combines both performance and luxury.

Super reliable and I can still count on it even past one hundred thousand miles. It is a great buy and a great investment.

Rudy S.

Not even close to epa mpg's & lunges.

Very luxurious and khushi but the car is about 10mpg less then the epa rating even after a tune up. Now I know why someone sold it. The previous owner backed into something hence the only damage on record now I know why. It throttled on me in reverse and when I shifted into drive it floored forward into a fencing and wrecked my front end along with the rear from the first crash.

2015 Lexus es 350 nice reliable car.

Nice looking vehicle; I get compliments on the look of it; sits and rides very low to the ground so it is not as quiet as some cars; as I get older I realize I need a car that sits higher for better visibility; very reliable, haven't had many problems with it other than the sun room randomly blowing out on a bridge; seats are not holding up well regarding the leather quality. Plenty of room for four people. Air conditioning works well. Radio is just ok, not great and could be a lot better.

Caroline K

Lexus es - bad engine, but great ride.

Not sure if I just got a bad engine or what, but I have been fixing things on my Lexus es since the second year I had it. It is cost me so far about a quarter of what I paid for it. On the other hand it rides well, accelerates very well, and the seats are primo comfortable.

Rust on trunk lid

I bought my 2014 ES Hybrid new. I’ve never had any work done on the original paint on the trunk lid but it's rusting in two places. I have less than 75k miles on the car. I won’t buy another Lexus.

Bailey W

Luxury for less: Lexus es 350.

The Lexus es 350 is a very good and standard care. I feel safe, and the interior feels very luxury-esque. It drives smoothly, but it has had some issues related to the brakes squeaking and the air filters. I love the Bluetooth features, as well as the current GPS options.

The best car for someone who drives a lot and enjoys a relaxing ride.

This car is very reliable. It has not broken down on me once in the two and half years that I have had it. The only time I need to take it to the mechanic is when it needs a mandatory oil change and it has well over 100,000 miles. It is easy to keep clean and the speakers work so well.

Pros from Owners

Vienna M.

It is a low maintenance vehicle with a sleek look and a lot of bells and whistles. When I purchased my vehicle in 2017, I was given a discount by my insurance company because Lexus's are so reliable.

Darlene P.

Park assist. Lane assist. Stereo. Quiet ride. Heated and cool. Seats. Dual air controls. Comfort seats. Many airbags. Rides very smooth. It has a sunroof and it has different powers you can use. Eco or sport.

Dot H.

The car is the perfect size for us and has all the bells and whistles. It has a sunroof for those to whom that would appeal. We are pleased with the mileage-it is not great but it is good. The back up camera is a huge help and it has internet access..

Cons from Owners

Vienna M.

The only con I can think of is the price. Even though Lexus are expensive, you get what you pay for, a quality car that is reliable and offers the latest technology. With saying this, I do not feel this car has a con because you get what you pay for.

Darlene P.

None. My Lexus has no cons at all. I would recommend this car to anyone. It has everything you can think about. No complaints whatsoever I will always drive a Lexus because it will never let me down.

Dot H.

I really cannot think of any cons. It is the basic model rather than having super trim but still pretty. While the mileage is not super great, it is quite good. It requires some reaching for the seatbelts. The cost is a little pricey..

Is The 2014 Lexus ES A Good Value?

I got my car used so I feel I got it for a good price. I think Lexus is a good value for all the features you get with the car.

Vienna J.

I do not know how much because it was a gift. If I had to guess I'd say somewhere around $45,000. It is a little spendy but definitely worth the money.

Marsha N.

We bought ours used - certified. We thought we got a good deal in that it was reasonably [priced for its age and mileage. Considering the life expectancy, we were pleased.
